Command Line Interface (CLI)
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is used to configure and manage the
MSA1000. In addition, the CLI can be used to display system setup information
and status. It may also provide information on devices that are attached to the
controller.
Note: The CLI is available for all supported operating systems.
The CLI is accessed through a host computer connected to the serial port of the
MSA1000.
Some CLI configuration and management tasks include configuring storage units
(LUNs), setting the addressing mode, limiting access to storage, and viewing
information on MSA1000 components (controller, unit, and cache).
